Ice Off! The ice came off on 4/22/17 this year and every year it does, we get the itch to get out and catch the bows spawning on the shores. Ken and I slept in and didn't get up to the res until 10:30am. We started out throwing midge patterns from the shore with our 6 weights. Fishing was slow...water temp was still sort of cold since the ice just came off a few days ago. After about an hour of no action, Ken threw on a black wolly bugger and caught a planter rainbow from the shore. So, of course, what do i do? I throw on a black wolly bugger as well. My 2nd cast i started stripping it back from the shore and caught a 19 inch cut that was pretty healthy lookin, here are some pics of that fish:

About 30 min after that, things started to pick up a little. I think later on in the day with the temp rising helped. I think it took a little while for the midges to start hatching. So i switched back to midge patterns and we caught these fish all on the black jack!

It was good trip, fast, but good! Always a good time, water was super high, we had a really good snow pack year! Hopefully we can get up there again soon.

Needless to say Jimmy and I have not done enough fishing that past couple of years. We saw a window of opportunity open up to run up to Pine Valley Utah and fish a little river (stream) called the Santa Clara river. The water was flowing pretty good because of the snow melting. Jimmy first tried a san jaun worm and had a few bites. I put on a zebra midge with no luck. Then Jimmy through on a bead prince nymph and started catching a few small browns. I through a black wooly bugger to see if I could dead drift it or strip it across a few holes. I didn't catch anything until we moved up to the big hole right below the spill way of Pine View Reservoir. Here a few pics of our catch.

A friend of mine has killed it recently at Jackson Flat reservoir. A a little body of water over by Kanab Utah. I guess the fishing has recently opened back up on this little reservoir and the Brown Trout have grown nicely. Most of these were caught from the shore in the last 3 weeks. The rainbow was caught in the fall.
